Question 3 of 30

Mathematics
1 answer:
nadezda [96]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

(C) 10.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

If Paul added each weight before adding, as you state, he got:

Apples     3.78 ⟶  3.8

Peaches   2.12 ⟶  2.1

Oranges  4.45 ⟶ <u> 4.4 </u>

                    Total 10.3 lb

If he did it this way, he did it <em>incorrectly</em>, and his answer isn't in the list of options, anyway. That's because his method introduces round-off errors.

The correct way is to add the numbers as given, and then round off <em>at the end</em>.

Apples     3.78

Peaches  2.12

Oranges <u> 4.45</u>

   Total  10.35 ⟶ 10.4 lb

Note: When you drop a 5 f<em>ollowed by nothing</em>, you round off to the <em>nearest even number</em>.

A town has a population of 20000 and grows at 4% every year. What will be the population after 6 years, to the nearest whole num
zaharov [31]

Answer:

25306

Step-by-step explanation:

a=starting value = 20000

r=\text{rate = }4\% = 0.04

r=rate = 4%=0.04

\text{Exponential Growth:}

Exponential Growth:

b=1+r=1+0.04=1.04

b=1+r=1+0.04=1.04

\text{Write Exponential Function:}

Write Exponential Function:

y=20000(1.04)^x

y=20000(1.04)  

x

 

Put it all together

\text{Plug in time for x:}

Plug in time for x:

y=20000(1.04)^{6}

y=20000(1.04)  

6

 

y= 25306.38037

y=25306.38037

Leyla drops a penny from a height of 150 m. How long will it take the penny to hit the ground? Use the formula h(t)=−4.9t^2+vt+h
torisob [31]
To determine the time it  takes for the penny to reach the ground, we use the relation of height and time given above. We do  as follows:
<span>
0 =−4.9t^2+(0)t+150
t = sqrt( 150/4.9)
t = 5.53 s

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

We have to find the slope of the line that passes through this points:
p1(-2,15), p2(-8,-5)
the slope of a line through two points is calculated like this:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where x1,y1,x2,y2 are the coordinates of the two points, so we have:
m = (-5 - 15)/(-8 - (-2))
m = (-20)/(-8 + 2)
m = -20/-6
m = 10/3
that is the line slope
